Defect
On medium-duty trucks equipped with discharge headlights, the pin arrangement of the connector on the rear height sensor—which detects vehicle attitude—is incorrect, preventing the height sensor from functioning. As a result, the automatic leveling system for the discharge headlights may not operate during rough-road driving or similar conditions.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reconfigure the sub-harness connector pin arrangement to the correct layout.
